Always known for its coffee, Canada-based Tim Hortons has been testing a dark roast coffee at
its 80 central Ohio locations with the possibility of adding it to its lineup in the rest of North
America.

"The dark roast pilot has been successful," said spokeswoman Brynn Burton in an email. "Our
Columbus coffee sales are strong. We know that guests are trying it and saying positive things
about the new Dark Roast. This was a big test because it’s the first time the brand has added a new
coffee blend in 50 years, frankly, ever. So reception to this has been positive and promising."

Here's the pricing on the iced coffee: Small, $1.75; medium, $1.90; and large, $2.20, Burton
said. Tim Hortons' U.S. headquarters is based in Dublin.
